Add rudimentary support for the Fairphone 1, based on MT6589 to boot to
UART console.

The recently added SMP support needs to be disabled for this board as
the kernel panics executing /init with it, even though the CPUs seem to
start up fine - maybe a stability issue.

Would be nice to find out why. Did you tried to boot the system with 
enable-method set but with bringing up just one or two cpus?

I'd expected "&cpus" why can we overwrite delete the node property like this here?

Both results in the same, dtc just merges everything together, so as long as 
the node name is identical, it works.
Also I cannot use &cpus because cpus in mt6589.dtsi doesn't have a label set.

Regarding SMP:
I have tried setting maxcpus=2 in cmdline and that still makes the kernel 
panic. With maxcpus=1 and leaving the deleting out of the dts the kernel is 
stable and works properly.

So I think it's better to leave this out of the dts and keep maxcpus=1 in 
cmdline (until this gets fixed).

I've also heard from the person adding enable-method to mt6589.dtsi that it 
still works on their board, so something's different, maybe a different SoC 
revision, different bootloader behavior or whatever.

If that's fine with you, I'll send a v2 with that fixed.

Also I was told off-list that this should be called memory@80000000 because of 
the reg, will fix in v2.

Then I think we should add a label and use &cpus, as this is the standard way to go.

I'd prefer to disable the enable-method in DTS. You can see the four cores up 
and running without that, so it seems that is already done in the FW, right?

Sounds like a different bootloader behaviour.
